New Perl Stuff From O'Reilly
Well, sort of. It's a repacking of some existing stuff - a second edition of the Perl CD Bookshelf http://www.ora.com/catalog/perlcdbs2/ Looks like the contents of the new edition is: * Programming Perl, 3rd Edition * Perl for System Administration * Perl in a Nutshell * Perl Cookbook * Advanced Perl Programming Compare to the old edition which had: * Perl in a Nutshell * Programming Perl, 2nd Edition * Perl Cookbook * Advanced Perl Programming * Learning Perl * Learning Perl on Win32 Systems What would _you_ have included? Dave...

If anyone does decide to 'upgrade' I'd be interested it taking their old copy off their hands. Neil. -- Neil C. Ford Managing Director, Yet Another Computer Solutions Company [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: New Perl Stuff From O'Reilly
As a Perl novice I'd have to say the old version looks much better. Just replacing Programming Perl would have been enough. As another person at an early stage in my Perl self-development, I'll second this, and add that I'd like to add the Owl book on regexps, although I suppose that's not strictly perl-specific enough to go on the perl cd bookshelf? And "Programming the Perl DBI", which I find very handy. I got my copy of the Perl CD Bookshelf because it included books that provide a reference for just about every stage of development. -- matt jones
